    Hello, I have just bought a dell 1525 a bit rashly and discovered to graphics card sucks (It was a split second decision through someone else, and my older computer was in a mess). I edit videos but without any technical expertise in terms of hardware etc and I've just found that I can't run magic bullet suite through this.
    I wasn't particularly after a super powerful rendering engine and foolishly assumed the newer the better, its got Intel core 2 duo, 2.00 Ghz and 2 gig of ram so assumed it'd fly Ok, completely overlooking the importance of the graphics card. The constant emphasis in 'gaming' threw me a bit.
    Is there anyway to upgrade after the event? I'm totally gutted about it.
    Or is there any loopholes on the returns policy that anyone knows of? I've had it about 2 weeks

    You cant upgrade it. Returning it is your best bet, Dell allows 30 days for a full refund.

    Hmmmmm…..?

    You mean you can’t run Magic Bullet Suite with an X3100? That’s very surprising!
